i have bin growing for quite some time now. i have bin useing cabinett setups and closet setups. now i want to upgrade. i know what im doing and i have the money to
spend. i just want a small 4to 6 light setup using only 600 ters watt hps lights planning to use cross spectrum bulbs.danby 1200 btu portable ac and a dehumid i dont know which one because i have not bought it yet. anyways with all the fans lights etc running am i ok running 4000 watts without my electric company alerting the cops.
i did the math 4000 x 24 x 31 /1000 x 0.065 kwh
=193.20
so thats how much it would cost me a month. not bad at all mind you i live in ontario if that matters.

this debate will never end lol
i used to worry about getting cought running my 600 lol
you will find all kinds of answers to this question on riu. However, most experienced growers on this site seem to agree that all you have to do is pay the bill. It makes sense as well. Plus think of how many legal growers have huge electric bills. The cops would get tired of following up on all their tips especially since half are legal like most of us.

good luck sounds like a killer set up

And considering it's illegal for the power companies to disclose your electric usage patterns to the police without the police having a warrant, you can stop worrying about it :)

I ran 4000 for years. They cant tell how many people are in your home. It's not their job. They just want their money..
